Today’s Lenten Challenge from St Andrew Memorial was to stare out the window until you see something of beauty you have never noticed before.

Okay I cheated. This morning was clericus, the monthly meeting of all the clerics in the Deanery of London. It was held at St Aiden’s here in London. St Aiden’s sits right on the edge of the sifton bog.

As we were praying this morning I glanced out the window and watch a deer move through the bog. Right in the middle of London is chaos, cars, people, traffic and this still moment of nature slowly passing through like a ghost. It was beautiful.

So no I didn’t stare out my window, but I did see something of beauty out of a window today. I think it counts.
